Isobutyl methacrylate polymer

Poly(isobutyl methacrylate) (CAS 9011-15-8) is an acrylic polymer resin used in coatings, adhesives, and polymer formulation.

Where is Isobutyl methacrylate polymer used?

• Coatings and lacquers: film-former and rheology modifier that adds flexibility and adhesion
• Wood and metal finishing: binder for durable, clear films with gloss retention
• Adhesives and sealants: balances tack, cohesion, and substrate wetting
• Pressure-sensitive and contact adhesives: performance profiles
• Rigid polymer blends: plasticizing resin that reduces brittleness and improves processability
• Industrial cleaning and maintenance: film-forming agent in protective coatings
• Strippable masking formulations provide temporary surface protection.

Good to know: It does not migrate out of the matrix over time. Molecular weight and solution viscosity are key specification parameters buyers should confirm with suppliers.

Commercial specifications

• Beads, granules, or solution in organic solvent
• Bulk and drum quantities
